Raycast Timer (Windows)

Simple Raycast extension that lets you start a countdown timer with presets or a custom duration and plays an alarm when time is up.

Features

• Preset durations (1–60 min) and custom minutes/seconds
• Live countdown view with progress
• Large "Time's up" view and a system toast
• Windows alarm playback: bundled assets/alarm.wav or fallback beeps via PowerShell

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Raycast for Windows (public preview)

Getting Started

npm install
npx ray dev
# or build
npx ray build

Add an Alarm Sound (Optional)

Place an alarm.wav file in assets/. The command loads and plays it twice on completion.

If not present, the extension uses a short series of beeps.

Command

• Start Timer: choose a preset or provide custom minutes/seconds, then start.
